Mushroom cultivation, like any biological process, is subject to senescence, or the natural aging of genetics over time. As a strain is repeatedly cloned, its genetic information can degrade, leading to slower growth, mutations, or complete loss of vigor. The best way to avoid senescence is by periodically returning to spores, ensuring genetic diversity and
Growing mushrooms successfully requires a deep understanding of two critical growth stages: incubation and fruiting conditions. Each phase has specific temperature, humidity, and fresh air exchange (FAE) requirements to ensure optimal colonization and fruiting. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about incubation, fruiting conditions, break & shake techniques, and essential
What is Fresh Air Exchange (FAE)? Fresh Air Exchange (FAE) is the process of introducing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide to induce the fruiting stage in mushroom cultivation. FAE is crucial for mushroom pinning and healthy growth, ensuring that your Psilocybe Cubensis or other mushroom varieties develop properly. How Does FAE Work? Once your mushroom
What Are Isolated Spore Syringes? An isolated spore syringe is a liquid culture (LC) solution containing mycelium that has already germinated, significantly reducing the colonization time when growing mushrooms. Unlike standard multi-spore syringes, isolated spores are derived from cloned fruiting bodies, ensuring a more predictable and uniform growth cycle. How Do Isolated Spore Syringes Work?
The Origins of the Z Strain The Z strain is a Psilocybe cubensis variety originally designed in San Diego, California. This isolation was developed by one of the highest-paid mycologists in the U.S., known on the Shroomery forum as “Lipa”. Lipa, whose real name is Sam, has contributed over 100 pages of articles to the
What Makes Bluey Vuitton Special? Bluey Vuitton is on the highest end of the potency spectrum, boasting an impressive 1.832% psilocybin content—nearly triple the potency of Golden Teacher and most standard P. cubensis varieties. As the name suggests, Bluey Vuitton is a designer mushroom strain that has climbed to the top ranks in the P.
Doma is the name of a popular mycologist who created the Tidal wave psilocybe cubensis mushroom variety. Magicmyco has been his alias for years and the myco community has long praised his high-potency mushroom genetics for over a decade. Doma has made it his life mission to spread awareness and break myths through testing and
The Liberty cap is most common in the Pacific Northwest but is widely distributed throughout North America during the fall and early winter months. Mushroom foragers flock to the countryside of the PNW to stock up on the delectable mushrooms where they grow in grassy fields. The mushroom is Saprobic which means the mushroom feeds
Landrace strains are a term used to describe varieties of mushroom and Marijuana strains that evolved naturally in a specific region over time. Aesthetic attributes and high potency percentages attract collectors. Mazatepec Mexico Landrace strain with vigorous growth above Purple Mystic Purple mystic was a name coined for a psilocybe cubensis found in East Plant
Test results from Altitude consulting will reveal the true potency of our favorite magic mushroom strains. When it comes to active content in Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms we are mainly analyzing 4 main components. Psilocybin is perhaps the most notable chemical we all refer to as the active molecule responsible for tripping. Psilocin a more reactive
